"The artist creates the basic idea of the picture (plot, esthetics), basic colours, basic principles of their development. Then a computer works on the picture's individuality, adding more variations and fluctuations of the basic elements and letting them develop with time: the picture living its own life with objects moved and transformed but still following the original artist's concept."

Pictures of Math

Math can be incredibly beautiful. Often this beauty is only accessible to those who study math at an advanced level; images such as these have a universal aesthetic.

I started this blog hoping to share some of the more colorful parts of mathematics with those who may have dismissed math as the result of a bad algebra or calculus class. Meanwhile, for the mathematically minded, I hope these images inspire you to learn new things.

With every image posted, there are links so that you can read more about the mathematics behind the image. I encourage you to do so as sometimes, the math involved is just as beautiful, if not more so.
